Beginner’s Guide on how to play Last Day on Earth

The first few days out there in the wastes can be difficult, so we’ve put together a guide to help fellow survivors familiarize themselves with this new, treacherous world! This will give you a basic support to get you started. Beginner’s Guide on how to play Last Day on Earth.

Last Day on Earth: Survival is a zombie game. The goal is to survive in a hostile environment, building up your base and resources and fending off invaders both alive and dead. You’ll be brought forth on a plot of land that will serve as your base. Initially it will have a selection of basic resources – stone, wood, berries, a little iron deposits, and a few zombies/wolves/deer. You’ll notice your food/water are already dropping pretty quickly, but let’s not tackle this now. Your priority is to stay alive and collect food and not to die of hunger. Later you will have to build the floors on the area so you can place useful buildings such as the campfire, melting furnace, and small boxes.

First, grab some wood and stone from the ground and make a hatchet. If you get accosted by a zombie or wolf, don’t panic. You can easily kill anything you come across on this map so just swing away. If you take too much damage, scrounge up some berries – they will be your primary source of healing.

You’ll find an abandoned car that has some scrap/loot inside of it. You can use it as a storage container if you start to get overloaded. You can take the cleaver inside of it to deal more damage, and wear the thick jacket for damage reduction, but be aware that the weapons and armor lose durability when used.

Build Your Home First! (Beginner’s Guide on how to play Last Day on Earth)

Keep it simple. Leave yourself enough room for one or two crates and a stove. Eventually you’ll have burned through all your local berries and deer meat and start to starve/dehydrate. When you see the warning box above your head, drop anything of value in your storage and head outside the area (through the green).

You have a few options on the world map right out of the gate. You can hit up your first military bunker (Alfa/Alpha), but if you’re dying of thirst or hunger you might want to wait a bit. Head to a green (easy) forest with a hatchet. Stock up on berries to keep you going/heal from zombie fights as you harvest.

Also, focus on getting the materials to build your rain collectors and gardens in addition to basic defenses. A torch/axe/crowbar/etc. will be fine against standard Roamers and Wolves, even Fast Biters (though they’ll do a bit more damage). You might run into a Floater Bloater though, in which case you’re gonna want to run (but that’s rare in a green). Look for loot crates, stock up on wood, and head home when your inventory is full.

PLAYER CHARACTERS(Beginner’s Guide on how to play Last Day on Earth)

Remember that the players in the game are computer-generated so they’ll charge you. If you’re in the middle of a fight or at 10 health and a guy with a nail board comes running at you it’s time to bolt.

Once you’ve found some rope on zombies and you can make yourself a backpack, which will make your life easier. If your food/water situation is stable you can make your next trip to Bunker Alfa , if not, keep running green level forests/limestone ridges and build up your base. Get your garden beds up and running as soon as possible so you can get your carrot stream going, same with a water trap once you unlock them.

If you’re low on health and you plan on staying, eat any meat/berries you have and don’t wait. And if you’re out scavenging, pay attention to the game loading/jittering, it can sometimes signal an incoming “player”.

Take note that at thrcAlfa Base, you’ll find a Glock 17 on the corpse of a dead guard out front, and so long as you have a CAC Card A, you can unlock the door. Also, there is a locker filled with loot, including guns and a set of clothes. There’s also a console that needs a code, the code can be acquired from the CB Radio which is available after you reach level 7. As a word of caution, don’t go on the lower floors until you have armor and good weapons, as the zombies there can have up to 500hp.
